Korres returned to profitability in 2025 by focusing on its core categories and expanding online sales. The brand saw significant growth across international markets, including an 89% increase in the Czech Republic.
Why it matters
The company's strategic pivot toward facial skincare and fragrances, supported by digital retail channels, has stabilized its global financial health. This shift highlights a broader industry trend of streamlining product lines to boost operational performance.
Official corporate reporting for 2025 confirms a return to profitability driven by a 27% contribution from online sales. While sales surged by 44% in the United Kingdom and 24% in France, the exact long-term impact of discontinuing unprofitable items is still being assessed.
The players
Korres
A beauty and skincare company that develops products focused on facial care, fragrances, and sun protection.
The details
Korres achieved this financial turnaround by narrowing its business focus to facial skincare and fragrances. By simultaneously discontinuing less profitable items and prioritizing digital distribution through its e-shop and marketplaces, the company optimized its supply chain. This approach allows the brand to allocate resources more efficiently across its key international markets.
